Our guide, Filiz, made our long, hot day in Ephesus a pleasure. She was patient, kind, informative, and flexible, willing to switch out some of the stops to fit our preferences and also suggesting others that we weren't aware of. One member of our group has health issues, and Filiz was caring and adaptable, allowing us to move through the attractions at our own pace while keeping an eye on how busy things were getting around us. She answered all of our questions, and we loved learning about the area and the culture from her, not just about the attractions we visited.
This was an incredible private tour! Filiz and our driver customized our tour to make sure that we hit all of the spots we wanted - House of the Virgin Mary, Ancient City of Ephesus with The Terrace Houses, The Temple of Artemis, and added a lunch at a local restaurant. Her knowledge of the area was incredible and she shared so much history we were all fascinated - and we never felt rushed! Don’t hesitate - book this and ask for Filiz!
We had an amazing day guided by Bob! We opted to do the additional sites, which I would highly recommend. The tour was very informative and covered art, architecture, culture, religion, etc. It was also nice to not experience the typical logistical/organizational delays encountered with larger group tours. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in ancient history.
Filitz was a marvelous guide. Cage communicated with us by messaging before, found us right off the ship and planned a marvelous day or touring for us. Mother Mary’s house was such a beautiful place, Ephesus was breathtaking, st John’s church and grave wonderful. We had a delicious local lunch. She planned the day just as we asked her to
They picked us up right at the front of our hotel. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and supplemental facts, especially language and word origins. The locations we visited were fantastic. There was always plenty of time for pictures and questions. Visiting the town of Şirince was a surprise and it was nice to see how Greek culture had influenced some of the towns. Great tour overall.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Private Guided Ephesus Tour and that your guide’s knowledge and explanations made the experience even more meaningful. It is great to know you had enough time to explore, take photos, and ask questions throughout the day. We are also pleased that Şirince was a pleasant surprise for you and that you enjoyed discovering the cultural influences in the region. Thank you once again for your kind words. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
Huray was an excellent tour guide. She met us at port and had a driver take us all around Ephesus. She was friendly and knowledgeable and had a positive attitude. We learned a lot about Ephesus history. The ancient ruins were amazing.
I had an incredible experience on this tour of Ephesus. Our guide, Samet, was outstanding — always attentive and making sure we had the best experience possible. He took us to the most iconic places in Kusadasi, adapted the schedule perfectly to our needs, and ensured we made it back to the cruise right on time. The private tour felt like a true VIP experience with just the two of us. The lunch was absolutely delicious, and throughout the day Samet shared so much valuable and interesting history about Kusadasi that made every stop even more meaningful. Everything was perfectly organized, comfortable, and memorable. I highly recommend this tour 100%!
Our guide Filiz was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and helpful. We learned so much! Especially helpful that she knew the time to avoid lines. Food was especially great. Wear non skid shoes for the marble walkways
